I had this problem on the 23.03 as well, but didn't notice until this morning when I tried to make a very important business call from work
Much to my dissapointment I cannot make any phone calls using Hydrogen-23.03
So I updated to 25.03 since it is out now
Same problem
After some quick re-flashing and testing I find the problem is to do with the screen density....
When the phone is set for mdpi (160) the com.android.phone app force closes as soon as you hit the 'call' button
I have to keep the phone set at standard yucky 240dpi to make any phone calls
I have tried doing the factory data wipe, plus tried wiping the dalvik cache.. also tried deleting the data of Phone app... nothing seems to make it work at 160dpi
It's a known bug on AOKP that the dialer will crash upon making or receiving calls if the DPI is set below 182. Just set it to that and you should be fine.
No idea if a fix is already in the pipeline.

Will I have any Market issues at 182? I used to choose 160 because it's a standard option, I assumed it might be more compatible and now I've kinda gotten used to it.... I will try 182 though, because I really want to run Hydrogen (today I flashed FoxHound 7.0 and it's nice and I like the apex launcher, but Hydrogen was just so cool with its AOKP awesomeness and the ROM Control menu is great, plus it's a very cut-down ROM which I prefer because so far I can't get any good battery life from my SGS2
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, using 182 will cause compatibility issues since it's a non standard resolution, but you can get around it with LCD density modder pro.

Phone bricked?
Hi, first post, hopefully at the right place.
I've just installed HyDrOG3NICS. Unfortunately, it seems to have bricked my SII.
I get a black screen, that's all. No recovery mode, no download mode, nothing.
Is there anything I can do to get back either the recovery or the download mode?
Thx a lot

You have a blank profile, and you only state you have an "SII".
Check what model of SII you have. It will be on the label under the battery.
US carriers all carry a completely different model of SII than what this forum is for (GT-I9100). If you have an American carrier model of SII, you are in the wrong place, and flashed a firmware that wasn't meant for your phone, and may have completely borked it.
Hi thought I'd post this hear. Unable to receive and send picture messages since I flashed the from. Quite new to all this so I've probably done something wrong!
Also how do you change the dpi?

You need to be rooted to do this. From what I can tell, HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 is NOT rooted unless you root after installing it.
Also, it's pretty rude to hijack threads, unless you are having the same problem the OP of the thread is having. That applies to both you and soho123.
Yikes! Apologies for offending you!
Only posted it in this one as it was linked to the same ROM!
I'll try not to be so rude in future.
But thanks for the reply anyway.

Doesn't offend me. But it goes against one of the forum rules. (off-topic posting)
It may be the same ROM, but it's a totally different problem.

if you flashed the HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 rom you can change them through
settings>>Rom Control >>General UI >> LCD Density.
It will be set to 240 by default. do not change it unless you know what you are doing.. anything less then 182 causes issues with market and phone app on the AOKP rom which HyDrOG3N-ICS is based on
Thanks nomi.
I'll read into it a bit more before i do anything. Curiosity gets the better of me when I read so many posts about tweeks and features.
ctomgee, point taken. I'll try not break anymore rules. Thanks for heads up.

Sounds off topic, but if when you say "it should work shouldn't it", you are talking about the HyDrOG3N-ICS ROM, then yes, it should work. Unless you didn't follow the installation instructions exactly.
Hard bricked, so your phone does not react with the battery in and any button presses at all?

I'm not sure when exactly it happened, but my phone has stopped vibrating. No matter what rom I flash, even if I go right back to an unrooted stock rom, it won't vibrate no matter what settings or apps I use.
I know people have had this issue before, but I can't find a fix through the searches I've done.
Anyone have an idea? I'm considering just taking it in for repair, but that would leave me without a phone

Pretty sure this is a hardware failure of the vibrator. You probably don't have a choice but to take it to repair.

I'd be interested in a possible software fix for a probable hardware failure as well.
Here's an easy way to test. Download Z-DeviceTest from the market. It has an entry for "Vibrator". Open that, touch the screen to test. That just sends a simple signal to the vibrator to turn on. Does it vibrate?

Thanks for the heads up on that app. I can rule out any chance of a software fix. This is a definite hardware failure.
I better start making backups of everything, put the phone back to stock and reset the counter.

I had to have my S2 replaced under warranty this week because of failure of the USB port. The replacement came with ICS 4.0.3 already installed. After a day of getting all my stuff moved over, rooting the phone, and re-installing all my apps today I went out and paired the phone with my 2012 Ram. My previous S2 has worked flawlessly with this vehicle since day one. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my Outlook contacts to sync to the phone via Hotmail Connector, only the Google ones. This had been working for me prior on rooted stock GB. The truck had no problem pairing, but doesn't want to dowload the phonebook for some reason so I can't use voice dial and incoming calls are not recognized. Is there enough difference between GB and ICS to have caused this? I don't want to go back to GB, but this is a deal breaker. I don't really see all that much improvement with ICS anyway. I need my phone to work as it was.:crying:
Test gb and see

Dude you should have waited to get the replacement. The USB part for my phone just came in today and I just finished installing it. I'm charging up my phone now and will report back in your original thread on whether or not the charging indicator stays there after I unplug it. Replacing the chip was super easy, btw.
Edit: it wasn't your thread, but you posted in it. It's in the Q&A section.

Pointless thread? I don't want to downgrade, I wanted to find out if anyone else had seen an issue like this or had something better to reply with other than, "Flash back and see." Sorry if I took up space better used by another clueless newb asking how to revert to stock or how to flash his Skyrocket.
FYI, I finally got the Outlook/Hotmail sync working (I would tell you how, but since no one cares...). Now to see if I can get my phonebook to download to the truck. As for Lekerstein, I really didn't want to be messing with the USB connector when the phone is still in warranty. By getting a replacement I also now got another month added to my warranty and an updated phone, so I'm good. Hope yours works out for you.

Yes and no. It appears that the original method that worked on GB for setting up MS Exchange sync of the phone with Outlook via Hotmail no longer works on ICS. I simply tried a different method and that was the charm that worked. The functionality is still there, it just takes a different setup method to get it to work.:good:

you mean unroot right?
Don't unroot. Go into the android development and hacking forums and find a script to make your phone faster, and flash it in CWM recovery. If you can't do that, overclock your phone using the No Frills CPU Control app off the Play Store. Make sure both sliders are at the end and that your governer is Performance. Also, try out Auto Memory Optimizer, that's a good app for retaining your speed. And of course, always close apps when you aren't using them.

That's not how my friends S4 works, it is extremely responsive and fluid. Apps work without hiccups and even multi tasking is awesome. The first thing that came to my mind when you posted your phone's symptoms were, did you purchase it brand new from a shop? Is it on stock FM? Did you actually check it at the store before your purchased it?
Yours could be a FW or a HW problem. Is it possible to take the phone back to the store and have them fix/replace it before attempting software fixes?
Can anyone help me to solve my problem
i charge my phone at night but i found it turn off itself
i am using CM 10.1.3 rc2.
Backup your apps, contacts, sms/mms, call log, watsapp and perform factory reset. Afterwards do not restore the backed up apps and see if this happens again.
If it won't shut off at night, restore apps+data.
BTW, I'm currently running the RC2 without major issues.
Oh noes !!!
Clean install of stock, see if the problem persists. If it does, new battery first, change USB board/port if a new battery doesn't fix the problem. But I'd be surprised if it wasn't a 'CM problem', I've always found CM buggy as hell personally (even the 'stable' releases).

Glad to help.
Hello everyone, I hope you guys can shed some light on my problem, I would really appreciate it. I searched the forum and found a workaround for the IMEI problem that did not work for me. And I found nothing regarding the loud noise during calls. So I decided to post to get some help.
Problem 1
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000B from Brazil unlocked from the store. Three days ago I decided to update my system (2.2) to the CM10.0.0 (4.1.2). After much sweat and hassle I discovered how do it properly with the right files. So, I flashed 2.3.3 and then CM10 and it seemed to work properly until I found out my IMEI had been corrupted. I tried the solution I found but it didn't work because on step #5 I don't find the file named ".nv_data", just "nv_data.bin.md5". I tried copying just the other but in the end it doesn't change my IMEI back. I still have a generic IMEI but it is not affecting the signal of my phone, I can still make and receive calls, but I would like to get it properly working. When I flash android 2.2 it restores my IMEI.
Problem 2
My other problem is that I keep getting these really loud and intermittent scratch noises during calls after flashing CM10. Right now I am using a dutch SIM for I live in the netherlands. Maybe that is important to mention. But I had been using android 2.2 here all along with no problems. After CM10 I get these sudden short bursts of noise during my calls. The other person can barely hear it but I hear it loudly. It's really annoying. I have no idea what is causing it or how I can fix it.
Can you guys help me out with this one?!
Thank you,
Henry

Do you mean another version of the CM10? Is there antoher version of it? On android 2.2 and 2.3.3 it was working flawlessly. I don't know what happened to the calls with this noise.
On the other hand, I know the IMEI problem is because of the ROM for sure. Just don't know how to fix it.
